Tips on taking delivery

Hey everyone, during my agonizing wait for my E90 335I, you guys have kept me somewhat sane. It should be here on December 17th.....Merry XMAS!:rocks:

I have some questions maybe someone out there can answer:

1) My car is being shipped from Bremerhaven to Inchon (South Korea-Military). Is it normal for them to ship on a Roll on Roll off ship? I thought BMW shipped in containers.

2) Any tips/pearls for taking delivery. I expect the car to be perfect, and will not except anything less. Are my expectations too high?

Thanks for any replies

If its not perfect, I wouldn't take delivery unless they agreed to fix it before I signed.

BMW like most car makers use Roll on Roll off (RoRo) ships to transport cars. Let the dealer (or PX) know your expectations for the condition of the car.
